Harish Lamb Biryani is a regal feast for the senses. Its intoxicating aroma of saffron, cardamom, and cloves sets the stage for a sublime experience. The basmati rice is flawlessly separate and fluffy, infused with golden color and complex spice notes. The true star is the lamb—succulent, fall-off-the-bone tender, and deeply marinated, offering a rich, savory counterpoint to the fragrant rice. Each layered bite is a harmony of texture and flavor, both hearty and elegant. Served with cool, creamy raita, this dish is a perfect, soul-warming culinary masterpiece that truly deserves its legendary status. An unforgettable dish.

Florin Carare Amazing customer service. Amazing products. Good time keeping beginning with taking the order and ending with delivering the products and after sale care. All the time we felt really welcomed. Well done! We will be back to try the family grill platter.

N O Empire Lounge is a stylish and cosmopolitan venue that combines a unique restaurant experience with an opulent lounge atmosphere. It genuinely caters to a wide range of guests — whether you’re visiting for a meal, drinks, or simply to unwind. The food was excellent, well-presented, and full of flavour. The atmosphere is vibrant but still comfortable, making it a great spot to relax while enjoying good music and a lively setting. Located in the heart of Catford, the building really stands out — especially with its beautiful gold-emblazoned banner, which gives it a distinctive and luxurious feel from the outside. Overall, Empire Lounge is definitely worth visiting if you’re looking for great food, good vibes, and a stylish place to chill or celebrate. I’ll definitely be returning.

Rikki Hunt Lovely food and really generous portions – definitely great value for money! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Service was excellent, especially from Noor, who was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very well looked after. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be coming back!

Travelling Valentines As we entered, we were greeted by a young staff member who was extremely polite to us and assisted with the menu, advising us on the best options available. We really appreciated this as it made our experience easy and welcoming. We ordered a few items and they arrived in good time. We opted for Chicken Leg Grill with Salad (£3.99), Kachi Biryani (£7.99), Chicken Biryani (£4.49), and Kala Bhuna (£6.49). Everything was fresh, piping hot and super flavoursome, what more can you expect from such reasonable prices! Atmosphere slightly chaotic at times, but we did go during peak time so that may be to be expected. A slight downside to us sitting near the open door was the awful smell of smokers directly outside the premises, this is not the restaurants fault but worth noting. We will certainly return and looking forward to trying out more delicious items on the menu.
